Have we had two players with the same name in our squad before?

Andy Goram

Gave rise to possibly the greatest football chant of all time.
"2 Andy Gorams, there's only 2 Andy Gorams...."

If the Chris Wilder who played in the 90's were born about 20 years later he would have played under the Chris Wilder who is our manager now, so we would have had a player and a manager having the same name

As far as I recall we had a young lad called Alan Woodward on schoolboy forms in that period. Not sure if he signed as apprentice professional, I seem to think not.
He was a Sheffield lad from Frecheville school I think and had played for Sheffield schools U 15.

Cheers. I remember reading in a programme that TC's brother Paul played for our youth team in the late 1960s. How long was he with us?

Currie

He had a short trial period and played a few NI league and Hatchard league matches, nothing came of it.

Sadly, his brother Steve died in 2021.

Steve Jagielka: Ex-Shrewsbury Town star's death was drug related

Steve Jagielka played more than 170 times for Shrewsbury Town between 1997 and 2003.
